Musa bo n’ishazâla Yetro

 1 Yetro, mudâhwa w’e Madiyani, ishazâla wa Musa, ànaciyumva bàshambâla ngasi byoshi Nyamuzinda àjirîre Musa n’olubaga lw’Israheli, na kurhi Nyakasane arhenzagya Israheli e Misiri. 2 Yetro, ishazâla wa Musa, anacirhôla Sipora, mukà Musa, erhi àhulusîbwe, 3 na bagala bage bombi: muguma izino lyage ye wàli Gwershomi -Lubungo- bulya Musa àli adesire, erhi: «Ndi mubunga omu cihugo c’ihanga,» 4 n’owundi ye wàli Eliyezeri -Nyamuzinda ye burhabâle bwani bulya «Nyamuzinda wa larha ye wàyishir’intabâla, ànfulumula oku ngôrho ya Faraoni.» 5 Yetro, ishazâla wa Musa, bo nabagala ba Musa na muka-Musa bànacija emunda àli ahanzire omu irungu oku ntondo ya Nyamuzinda. 6 Anacirhuma abaj’ibwira Musa, erhi: «Nie Yetro ishazâla wawe, nyishire emund’oli rhwe na mukâwe na bagala bawe bombi.» 7 Musa àhuluka, aj’ibugâna ishazâla, aharàmya anamuhôbera. Erhi babà bamadôsanya emyanzi, bàja omu cihando. 8 Musa àganirira ishazâla ngasi byoshi Nyasakane àjirire Faraoni na Misiri erhi Israheli orhuma, ngasi mbaka zoshi babuganyire omu njira n’oku Nyakasane àbalikûzize muli zo. 9 Yetro àsîma ago minja goshi Nyakasane  àjirîre Israheli, omu kumulîkuza omu maboko g’Abanya-Misiri. 10 Yetro  anaciderha, erhi: «Ayagirwe Nyakasane wammulîkûzagya omu maboko g’Abanya-Misiri n’aga Faraoni, owalikûzagya olubaga Iwage omu maboko g’Abanya-Misiri! 11 Lero nkola mmanyire oku Nyakasane ye mukulu kulusha banyamuzinda b’obwihambe boshi.» 12 Yetro, ishazâla wa Musa, àrhûla Nyamuzinda embâgwa n’enterekêro. Aroni bo n’abagula b’Israheli boshi bàyisha, balîra baguma n’ishazâla wa Musa embere za Nyamuzinda.

Musa àyimika abatwi b’emmanja

13 Erhi buca, Musa aja e kagombe mpu atwire olubaga emmanja. Lwalegerera luyimanzire embere zage kurhenga sêzi kuhika bijingo. 14 Erhi ishazâla wa Musa àbona ebyo byoshi àkâg’ijirira olubaga, amubwira, erhi: «Bici ebyo odwirhe wajirira olubaga? Cirhuma oja e kagombe wene n’obwo olubaga lushigalîre embere zawe kurhenga sêzi kuhika bijingo?» 15 Musa anacibwira ishazâla, erhi: «Olubaga lunakâyisha emunda ndi lul’idôsa Nyamuzinda. 16 Nka hali lubanja lugwerhe, banalunderhere nambazâbûlirelwo, mbamanyise n’amarhegeko ga Nyamuzinda n’amahano gage.» 17 Ishazâla wa Musa amubwira, erhi: «Okwo ojira kurhali kwinja. 18 Wafà n’omurhamo, we n’olu lubaga muli mweshi. Ogu mukolo guli muzirho bwenene kuli we; orhankahasha okukâguyukiriza wene. 19 Yumva, nkuhe ihano, na Nyamuzinda abe haguma nawe! Oyimangire olubaga embere za Nyamuzinda, n’emmanja zabo okazihêkera Nyamuzinda. 20 Okaz’ilangûla olubaga amahano n’amarhegeko, okaz’ibamanyisa enjira y’okushimba n’olugendo bakwanine okubà nalwo. 21 Kandi, omu lubaga lwoshi, ocîshogemwo àbalume b’entwali, abarhinya Nyamuzinda, ab’okucikubagirwa, bantahemuka; obajire barhambo b’olubaga: barhambo ba bihumbi, barhambo ba magana, barhambo ba makumi arhanu-arhanu na barhambo b’ikumi ikumi. 22 Babe bo bakaz’iyôrha batwa emmanja. Nka hali olubanja lunene, bakâkulerheralwo, ci emmanja nsungunu, bakàz’izizâbûla bone. Oyangujye ntyo omuzigo gwawe, mugubarhule mwe nabo! 
23 Okajira ntyo, Nyamuzinda anakulangula enjira, wanabona emisi, n’olu lubaga lwanakâshubira emwa bâbwe n’obubolo.» 24 Musa ayumvirhiza izu ly’ishazâla, ànajira nk’oku amubwiraga koshi. 25 Muli Bene-Israheli boshi, Musa àcîshogamwo abalume b’entwali, abajira barhambo b’olubaga: barhambo ba bihumbi, barhambo ba magana, barhambo ba makumi arhanu-arhanu na barhambo b’ikumi-ikumi. 26 Bakâz’iyorha batwira olubaga emmanja ngasi mango. Ngasi mmanja ndârhi, bakâz’ihêkera Musa, na ngasi binwa bisungunu, bakâb’izâbûla bonene. 27 Musa ànacisengaruka ishazâla, naye acishubirira omu cihugo cage.
